SPECIFIGATIGN forming part Of Letters P84181117 3T0. 248,796, dated October 25, 1881. Application filed August 15, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, AUGUST Boos, a citizen of the United States, residing at N ew York, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Apparatus for Cooling or Heating Liquids, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to apparatus for cooling beer or for heating or cooling other liquids;

and it consists in an annular chamber which is divided into a series of compartments comn1 nnicating with each other by means of holes which are diametrically opposite to each other, or nearly so, in combination with inlet and outlet pipes for a cooling or heating medium connected to the end compartments, respect;- ively, so that when the apparatus is applied to use the cooliw or heating medium circulates successively tlirough the compartments of the annular chamber, and a uiuximnmetfect thereof is produced.

This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a vertical cross-section. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the line mac, Fig. 1. Fig.3 isasimilar section on the line y y, Fig. 1. I

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts. The letter A designates a tub or vessel designed to receive the beer or other liquid to be heated or cooled, us the occasion requires. In a central portion of this vessel Ais located the attemperator, consisting of an annular chamber, B, divided into three (more or less) compartments, C C G, which communicate with each other by means of apertures (1, formed in the partitions between the compartments, one diametrically opposite to theother, or nearly so. To the compartnient (3 is connected a pipe, E, and to the compartment 0 a pipe, F, these compartments being at the ends of the chamber, and the pipe F being arranged to extend through the compartments 0 (3 into the compartment 0 In practice, the pipes E F are connected with a source of supply for a suitable cooling or heating medium-as, for example, cold water-E being an inlet-pipe, and F an outlet-pipe; and this water enters the compartment G, thence passes into the compartment C and thence into the compartment 0", whence it escapes; and it will be seen that by the arrangement of the apertures d the water is caused to circulate through each compartment, whereby a maximum effect thereof is produced.

The annular chamber B is constructed with heads B, which are flanged to receive the sides thereof, and in the upper one of which are arranged screw-plugs ,G. to allow the admission of water for flushing, the chamber. The partitions dividing the compartments 0 0 (F also are flanged for their attachment to the sides of the chamber. The pipes E-FllltPI the eham-, ber B from a lower direction, and thus assist in supporting the whole in the vessel A; but, if desired, the pipes may be made to enter the chamber from an upper direction, and'in that case legs are used to support the apparatus.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, substantially as hereinbefore set forth, with a liquid-vessel, 0f the annular attemperating-chamber divided into a series of compartments, arranged one above the other and separated by partitions, said compartments communicating with each other by meansof apertures which are diametrically opposite to each other, or nearly so, and

the inlet and outlet pipes foracoo'ling or heating medium connected to the end compartments of the chamber, respectively, for the par pose set forth. V

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal. in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
